It's ironic. I love Denzel Washington. I am also quite fond of Malcolm X, not necessarily that I agree with his entire philosophy. I think in many ways that he did a great dis-service to the black community by leading many astray from the truth and love of Jesus Christ, and into a chapter of Islam that most fundamentalists would consider heretical and inconsistent with the teachings of Muhammed.

All that aside, Malcolm X was more true to his mission and authentic to his cause that many of the other voices in his time, especially Martin Luther King, Jr.

I didn't care too much for this movie, simply because it just wasn't as honest as I thought it would be. Malcolm X said many controversial things that were powerful, true, accurate, and that were completely omitted from this film... Especially of that SPECIFIC group of so-called "whites" that no one ever seems to focus on. X knew exactly who owned the liquor stores, the bad food stores, and did everything in their power to destroy the black community as they also do to the white community. keeping us in hatred of each other and too afraid to speak the truth in righteousness together as brothers and sisters in a struggle against our enemies.

It's a good movie. But for God sakes, know who the man really was before watching it.
